Umeshkrish

TF Buzz
I have been charged 820 rs as "finance charges debit" and gst rs 147. Total amounting to 967rs.
I have never kept any outstanding amount and paid full amount on credit statement.
When I called cc, he didn't gave me clear cut reason for charges and I requested for reversal of charges. But the request for declined... Dono what to do now. Screenshot_20230421_191354_Acrobat for Samsung.jpg

Payment due date : 22-04,
Payment settlement: 23-04
Got charged first time in last 5 yrs, it wasn't reported in CIBIL though, any way to get it back?
Mode of Payment ?

Except NEFT Payments , all Payments are reflected instantly.

Get complaint number from SBI and raise it with RBI BO and mention about 3 Grace days and attach statement PDF and Screeshot of Charges.

Ask RBI BO to take action against SBI for breaking RBI guidelines.

You must received Payment SMS from SBI.
Last time when I Did SBI payment using paytm, Paytm used "VISA MONEY Transfer" and this Payment mode at least take one complete day to get settled even if it is reflected instantly but vaiue date of txn remains same as of Payment date.

Get a Complaint number from SBI and Raise the matter with RBI directly with proper Facts.

Since SBI breaks RBI guidelines, SBI will definetly get a stroke of RBI's Bamboo in its ****** and you can ask for Compensation also.

If , I was in your place, without wasting any time First I get a Complaint Number and SBI response.
If SBI deny for reversing the charges then RBI BO is there to help.us since SBI Breaks the RBI Guidelines and You can proof the same by a proper draft and Relevant screenshot/PDF of last statement in which Payment Credit date is reflecting and Charges are reflecting.

SBI can not escape from this Blunder if you draft your RBI Complaint Properly.

Do not forget to mention compensation Amount in Complaint text and dedicated column available in RBI Complaint Portal
 
Let me share my experience also, Once I also charged payment dishonour fee of Rs.500/- .My due date was 14/9/22 so, I made the payment on 13/9/22.On 14/9/22 they tried to auto debit the amount but, due to insufficient funds they couldn't.So, they charged me rs500.I contacted cs & they said it takes 1-2 days to update the payment even if you got the message from SBICARD that "We have received your payment" even sometimes takes 5 days also so, always pay your dues before 5 days from your due date.They also took a request to reverse the charges but, it got rejected due to my card was new & only 3 months old

Your case is different.

If You are doing payment manually then do not opt for Auto Debit.

If you opted Auto Debit then Do not make payment manually, just before due date

Auto Debit systems run differently with different Banks and NBFC

For example in Bajaj, there is cut off date.
If I make the Payment in Advance before that cut off date, then Bajaj systems would not hit Auto Debit Next Month.

If I make payment in advance after that cut off date, then Bajaj systems would 100% hit Auto Debit multiple times till Amount gets deducted , even if payment is received in advance.

That is why Bajaj image is not good because people make Bajaj EMI Payment in advance Via Bajaj App or Website Portal or BBPS on or before the due date but after cut off date due to which Bajaj systems hit Auto Debit multiple times and Bank debit Bounce charges multiple times.
